Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
8 ounces white button mushrooms, quartered
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted
2 garlic cloves
1 1/2 cups fresh Italian parsley leaves
3/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
36 slices (1/2-inch-thick) baguette bread

Steps:

  • Place the porcini mushrooms in a bowl of hot water; press to submerge. Let stand until the mushrooms are tender, about 15 minutes. Scoop out mushrooms, being carefully not to stir any dirt that may have sunk to the bottom of the water. Discard mushroom water.
  • Combine the porcini mushrooms, button mushrooms, walnuts, garlic, and parsley in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. With the machine running, gradually add 1/2 cup of the oil, blending just until the mushrooms are finely chopped.
  • Transfer the mushroom mixture to a medium bowl. Stir in the Parmesan. Season the pesto with salt and pepper, to taste. If not using mushroom pesto right away, cover tightly with plastic wrap to prevent possible discoloration of mushrooms.
  • Preheat a grill pan to medium-high heat. Arrange the bread slices on pan, cut-side down. Brush the remaining 1/4 cup of oil over the bread slices. Cook until pale golden and crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • Alternatively, you can toast the bread in the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Arrange the bread slices on 2 heavy large baking sheet. Brush the remaining 1/4 cup of oil over the bread slices. Bake until pale golden and crisp, about 15 minutes.
  • Spread the mushroom pesto over the crostini. Arrange the crostini on a platter and serve.

Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 1/2 cups steamed or jarred artichoke hearts
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
3 cloves roasted garlic, or 1 minced raw
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon zest
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 shallot, chopped
1/4 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, minced
Cracked black pepper
1 1/2 cups loosely-packed chanterelle, hedgehog, or other wild mushrooms
1/2 shallot, or red onion, finely minced
1/4 cup vegetable stock
2 tablespoons minced chives
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, minced
Sea salt to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper
1 whole grain baguette
1 Recipe artichoke puree
1 Recipe sauteed wild mushrooms
1 teaspoon fresh horseradish root, peeled and finely zested
Truffle oil to garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Artichoke Purée: Lightly toast pine nuts in a dry saute pan over medium-low heat until golden. If using jarred baby artichoke hearts, strain and rinse well. Using a food processor, pulse all ingredients except parsley and thyme to a coarse puree, stirring as needed. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and fold in fresh herbs. Set aside.
  • Sautéed Wild Mushrooms: Place a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the minced shallot, tossing until translucent, slightly golden, and beginning to stick. Add the mushrooms, and a splash of the vegetable stock to deglaze. Add another splash of vegetable stock when the first stock addition reduces and the mushrooms begin to stick, being careful not to let it burn. Stir in fresh herbs and season with salt and pepper. Saute until the mushrooms have released their liquid and the pan is almost dry, about 4 minutes.Meanwhile, slice the baguette on the bias into slices. Lightly grease a hot griddle pan and grill lightly on both sides.
  • To assemble, lay out crostini and on each place about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the artichoke puree. Top with sauteed mushrooms and finish with fresh horseradish root, shaved fine using a microplane zester, and drizzle with truffle oil if desired.
